Geocache Description:

This cache is now a nano so BYO pen. This cache was moved slightly on 17/06/2009. Don't get caught with old print-outs for those of you who are paper-cachers! (or old uploads for those who are not!)

Our Fore!fathers are simultaneously diverse and unique. This cache is merely a reminder of that fact. It is an easy stroll. It is a simple 3 - step multicache from which you must gather some data as you go in order to find each of the subsequent coordinates. Naturally I needn’t remind you of the need for discretion and a quiet respect. Not coincidentally, upon your arrival you’ll note that Fore!fathers begins with a woman. I won’t soliloquize too much about the impact of women serving their country on the definite change to the status of women in many cultures, but it does warrant some thought. Thereafter, the cache trek takes you to two other Fore!fathers, no one person more or less significant than the other. The cache is a micro, so you will need to bring a pen. **Park/dismount and enter at coordinates S35 12.994 E149 08.221** At the first waypoint, S35 13.149 E149 08.137, find Norma Florence “Sue” Pickering. In what year was she born? Use the year as ABCD. At the second waypoint, S35 13.ADA E149 08.A7C, find Lawrence Smith. In what year was he born? Use the year as EFGH. At the third waypoint, S35 1C.FG6 E149 08.E6G, find Ronald James Blandon. In what year was he born? Use the year as IJKL. The microcache location is at S35 IK.J5G E149 08.I8I FTF: Tealby
